2021-02-01 - Plenary: Dynamic License Scanning

• Presentation of Tern& ScanCode (Dynamic scanning open source toolkit) integrated to ONAP CI POC
• The tools and methodology may be used by other projects under the LFN - Detecting the license inside Docker images is something any open source project needs to deal with in order to avoid licensing legal issues. This is not an ONAP specific issues.

• Provide additional knowledge session(s) to other LF projects that might be interested to integrate them to their CI.
• Integrate these toolkits to CI, share weekly results to the projects and create automatically JIRA Security tasks

2021-02-01- EUAG newly updates- Voices from the cross-community end users

• Presentation of "EUAG Intelligent Network and AI Survey" (65 participants, 40 complete responses)
  • Top Business Drivers: Simplified Operations, Improved Infrastructure and lower TCC
  • Most of Operators, vendors, integrators, IT companies, open communities, universities have some AI today
  • We are still in the emerging technology phase, so good opportunity for EUAG to take a lead.
• Collaborative suggestions with Network Intelligent SDOs (TM Forum, ETSI, OpenAirInterface, O-RAN Alliance) + Anuket/Onap

• Define concrete use cases levering ONAP Control Loop mechanisms adding ML/AI logic; ONAP DCAE/Acumos integration
• Investigate if any network automation/autonomy use case specific model that could be enabled by Acumos Market?

• Problem Statement: How to attract new contributors to enhance/improve/consolidate community documentation

Too many sources, documenting great accomplishments but not necessary up-to-date; few users contributing to doc.

• Need for a straight-forward guide on how to contribute to each project

Cross-Community Discussion of laisons

• Need to look at this at then LFN level
• Time for a new whitepaper.

Anuket

• Current flavor approach defined in the Reference Model (RM) does not allow dynamic flavors
• Current flavors are not optimized for applications with high memory demand, like big data and ML applications
• A proposal was discussed to include a memory intensive profile to the RM

• Reach a consensus in RM about the need of the new flavor
• We should consider a fixed relation between memory and storage also and not only a fixed ration between memory and CPU

• Walter Kozlowski to add the idea of adding a memory intensive flavor to agenda the RM to the next RM meeting. Joao Rodrigues  and Gergely Csatari  to participate next Wednesday
• Walter Kozlowski discuss the need for a 16xlarge flavor in one of the RM meetings
• Walter Kozlowski discuss the removal of tiny configuration in one of the RM notes

Description of progress on container work from these two related activities.

This was a good chance to understand the roles and scope of some of the NFV architecture components as the implementation below evolves.

Anuket: CI/CD practice in large scale de-coupled NFV resource deployment

• Following China Mobile's deep dive trial in large cluster hardware in 2 provinces in China, they share needs about automatic network configuration validation, need to standardize integration between Openstack and distributed storage, and how Anuket can help.
• Jenkins was enough for the LS pipline, and ceph upgrade will not impact the VNF/App usage.

Anuket - Kubernetes Container-Networking Benchmarking for Telco Use cases

VSPerf project has performed some data plane benchmarking tests on various Container Networking options.  Using MULTUS.

• OVS-DPDK, VPP, and SR-IOV: How do they compare with various options:
  • VPP with memif outperforms vhost user
• Need Binary Search WITH Loss-verification (ETSI NFV TST009)
• Also run RFC 2544 Back 2 Back Frame Benchmark for buffer size measurement

NEXT STEPS

• OVS -DPDK with memif
• HW Traffic Generator is most reliable.
• Other CNIs? requests (and help appreciated).
• need separate session on deploying the tests in other labs

Anuket - Beyond IaaS/CaaS for Cloud Infrastructure in RM

• Explore whether the RM, and subsequently the RAs, should specify a set of commonly used software services and steps for reducing the onboarding, certification and operational costs.
• Consult prior surveys, and create  Survey of related services and products.

• Anuket  and XGVELA to align on General PaaS (survey)
• RM to create sub-team and hold meetings with XGVELA

What arease should RC-2 work in next?

• Agree that various forms of benchmarking are required (API, data plane, and new benchmarks for actual life-cyle operations).
• Cannot rely only on Functional testing.

"We should start with the tests and write the requirements, not the other way around."

Current WS Lead wants to step down - call to contributors.

• We need to have a common way to onboard CNFs
• We need to have a joint effort to implement test cases and making additional tests

Anuket: The Journey to Anuket and Beyond... – Ask Me Anything!

How OPNFV and CNTT made a "delicious vegan sausage" by merging/melding.

Much knowledge was shared, and the people rejoiced!

Preserve the trust that we have built so far, and grow it!
